We're going to be making raised baked donuts...
We're using this recipe from cooks.com..
| BAKED RAISED DONUTS | |
In a large saucepan bring to a boiling point: 1 1/2 c. milk Remove from heat and stir in: 1/3 c. shortening 1/4 c. sugar 2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. nutmeg When lukewarm - add: 4 3/4 c. sifted flour 2 lg. well beaten eggs 2 yeast cakes, dissolved in 1/4 c. lukewarm water Beat dough until well mixed. Cover pan and let stand in a slightly warm place until dough is light and double in bulk, about 60 minutes. Turn dough onto a well floured board, turning 2 or 3 times to form a stiff ball. Roll lightly (avoid stretching) until about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a 3 inch cutter. Place rings carefully 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Brush rings with butter and let rise in warm place until double in bulk (about 20 minutes). Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. As soon as donuts are removed from oven, brush again with butter and roll in granulated sugar. Makes 2 1/2-3 dozen. | |
Yesterday the children made pretzels. They really enjoyed shaping them! I thought they tasted very good.
On our children's b-days we let them pick the place they would like to go and we then treat them out to a meal wherever they choose. We only take them and enjoy the time with them one on one..
Morgan-Britney chose to go to India Garden and then to a movie at the cheap seat theater. We love Indian food so we are really looking forward to it. We're heading out after our Shabbat celebration this evening..
Tomorrow we are having our Chanukah Feast. We are going to be having a turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and several other traditional dishes. I am then going to be making a few traditional Chanukah foods.

Me and the children have to head to the chiro at 1pm this afternoon. He is treating me and all but 2 of my children also. I am glad to be going in again. My hips have been popping in and out and clicking. OUCH!
Have a great day everyone!
Shabbat Shalom!!
I leave you with this..may this be your prayer on this Shabbat!
Come and make my heart Your home.
Come and be everything I am and all I know.
Search me through and through 'till my heart becomes a home for You.
A home for You, Lord.
A home for You, Lord.
Let everything I do open up,
A door for You to come through,
And that my heart would be a place where You want to be.
Come and make my heart Your home.
Come and be everything I am and all I know.
Search me through and through 'till my heart becomes a home for You.
You are my portion, filling up everything.
You are the fortune that's causing my heart to sing.
That it's amazing, that You could make Yourself at home with me.
Come and make my heart,
Come and make it Your home.
Come and be everything I am and all I know.
Search me through and through 'till my heart becomes a home for You.
